Which field is best for Off Break Bowler in One Day Matches?For Right Hand Batsmen and Left Hand Batsmen.
Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
Hi Junaid,
I suggest for an off-spinner bowling to a right hander that you set-up with a 4-5 leg side field with a deep point fielder, a deep square leg and a deep mid-wicket with everyone else in the ring. Bowling to a left hander I suggest going with a 5-4 off side field with a deep square leg and deep point but everyone else in the ring.
You can push more fielders back to the boundary if the batsman is playing shots. I would drop the mid-on and mid-off back first depending on where the batsman is hitting the ball. I hope this was helpful!
